Executive Officers

AATJ is governed by a team of elected Executive Officers (President and two Vice-Presidents) and an appointed Board of Directors. There must be representation of both pre-collegiate and high education among the Executive Officers. The duties of the officers are prescribed in the AATJ Bylaws. Currently the administrative offices of the AATJ are located at the University of Colorado at Boulder. A Transition Team appointed by the ATJ and NCJLT Boards appointed a team of Co-Presidents and a Vice-President/Treasurer to serve for the initial two years (2012-2013) until the election procedure outlined in the AATJ Bylaws can be implemented. The Co-Presidents are Yasu-Hiko Tohsaku, a past president of ATJ, and Jessica Haxhi, a past president of NCJLT. Vice-President/Treasurer is Kurt Thompson, immediate past president of NCJLT. The Vice-President/Secretary, elected in December 2011 by the members of both ATJ and NCJLT, is Motoko Tabuse.
